The Anschutz Entertainment Group first tried to build an arena in Las Vegas in association with Harrah's Entertainment. In 2007, the joint venture announced they would build a 20,000 seat stadium behind the Bally's and Paris casino-hotels.[5]Caesars Entertainment, Inc. had previously envisioned using the location to build a baseball park, but the company's buyout by Harrah's cancelled the plans. Through the following year, Harrah's became uncertain on continuing with the project, not knowing if AEG would split the costs, and whether building a major league-ready stadium without a guaranteed franchise to play on it would be feasible given the enduring financial crisis.[6] The original plans were to break ground in June 2008 and finish the arena in 2010, but by 2009, it was revealed the stalled project had not even done a traffic study despite being located near a busy intersection.[7] In 2010, the plans were changed to use an area behind the Imperial Palace. However, given the financing would require a special taxation district, opposition from Clark County regarding using public money in the project stalled it even further.[8] AEG eventually backed out completely by 2012, once MGM Resorts International came up with their own project using a terrain behind the New York-New York and Monte Carlo resorts. This attracted AEG primarily for not relying on public funding.[9]

MGM and AEG announced their joint arena plan on March 1, 2013.[10] Plans were further fleshed out over the following months with the announcement of a $100-million pedestrian shopping area, The Park, to serve as a gateway to the arena,[11] and the retention of prominent sports architecture firm Populous to design the project.[12] Other firms on the project include: the ICON Venue Group,[13]Thornton Tomasetti,[14] ME Engineers,[15] Penta Building Group and Hunt Construction Group.[16]

The project broke ground on May 1, 2014,[17] followed by the demolition of existing buildings, and excavation of an oval area for the arena. The final steel beam of the structure was placed on May 27, 2015.[18]

Notable events

UFC president Dana White stated in October 2015 that he had been "promised" the privilege of hosting the first sports event at the arena, and that the mixed martial arts promotion would consider holding more events at the new arena based on the new relationship. It was also speculated that the UFC had also made an offer to acquire the naming rights to the venue.[31] T-Mobile Arena hosted UFC 200 on July 9, 2016.[32] A July 7 UFC 202 press conference was partially ruined by the arena's acoustics and sound system, which left many questions unheard and unanswered. White and headliners Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz criticized the sound quality as it deteriorated around them; journalist Ariel Helwani tweeted it was "incredibly hard to hear anything".[33]
